MATHMOD 2012 - 7th Vienna International Conference on Mathematical Modelling

The scope of the conference covers theoretic and applied aspects of the various types of mathematical modelling (equations of various types, automata, Petri nets, bond graphs, qualitative and fuzzy models, etc.) for systems of dynamic nature (deterministic, stochastic, continuous, discrete or hybrid with respect to time, etc.).

Comparison of modelling approaches, model simplification, modelling uncertainties, port-based modelling, and the impact of items such as these on problem solution, numerical techniques, validation, automation of modelling and software support for modelling, co-simulation, etc. will be discussed in special sessions as well as applications of modelling in control, design or analysis of systems in engineering and other fields of application.

The topics to be discussed will include e.g.

modelling theory
processes and methods for model formulation, identification, development, reduction and validation
automation of modelling and software aids for modelling
computer modelling and modelling for /by simulation
qualitative modelling including fuzzy and iterative approaches to modelling
modular modelling and interdisciplinary modelling
learning networks / uncertainties in modelling
methodologies for model validation
fitting mathematical models to real processes
relationship between the modelling approach and problem solutions
comparison of methods for modelling, model reduction and model validation
effects of modelling errors on overall performance of an engineering system
applications in the field of engineering systems and in natural sciences
applications in other fields (such as environmental systems, biotechnology, etc.)
case studies of comparisons for ideas or methods
education in modelling
modelling aspects in scientific computing
fractional calculus
